Wrong!
 

Just wanted to say I have a Kingcreek.net yorkie, Schmoo, and she is WONDERFUL,,,The dogs are well taken care of and NEVER caged...we went there many times to visit the area and house prior to buying and nothing was hidden from us, they were friendly and well adjusted dogs...don't judge a book from its cover...the grooming part...please...the dogs love the outdoors and enjoy every minute of it....there are NO issues here at all, or with HEALTH...would HIGHLY recommend!!!

Oh by the way how is your dog's LP doing? You did post earlier about loose knees, and later on about how your dog had trouble jumping up.

Did you inform the breeder of this condition? And if you did, how have they supported you in this health issue?

Hi
Took the dog to the vet, had a sprain or a strain, knees are fine, health is great, and yes did talk to the breeder throughout the whole thing, she was GREAT...no history of it in the bloodline etc. etc.

So false alarm, and having the RIGHT vet has helped, a pressure bandage for a few weeks and all is great, jumping up, down and all around...she is BACK!!!

How old is your puppy?

She's not a puppy, in my eyes yes, but she is 3.5 years now...and wonderful wonderful wonderful!!!

I was checking them out when first looking for breeders as they are in Ontario. Yes I agree they do look mucky, but they also seem to have a lot of property and love their dogs. They are quite expensive and incredibly quirky individuals, but it's one of those things, you have to check them out and meet them before making a decision.

my vet wiggles and wiggles Teegy's knees and to me I feel it's like he's making it pop out when it doesn't. Then he told me Teegy has LP. I've never had a problem with his knees ever.

It kinda pi$$ed me off a bit

If someone is looking for a healthy well adjusted Yorkie as a pet, do you really think that champion blood lines and a great grandfather that was the King of the Yorkies really has an impact on their choice.
Hey if you are buying to breed and show then for sure, but for a loving kind, healthy pet I see no need.
Common sense proper health checks etc is what needs to be in place.
Don't breeders cross breed to find perfect appearances and what do they do with the failure result dogs?

Way to drag up an ancient thread, which apparently has a habit of being resurrected with praises. However, you are entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones.

ATTENTION New Readers of this thread: go back and read the red flag posts regarding this kennel. Maybe a member will rehash said red flags AGAIN, but it really would be easier for everyone if you went back and read them. I'm not in the mood to go back and rehash stuff at this moment.

Remember new readers, it is up to you to educate yourself, so take the time to read the positives as well as the negatives and decide for yourself based on your own research to make a responsible choice.

It would be a good idea to research "red flags" on this site as well so you know what you are looking for or you can just post asking about whatever breeder you are considering buying from if you aren't sure. The people here will help you review them based on their own opinions and let you know what they think. :)

Happy searching to whoever may stumble upon this thread!

We got our sweet Yorkie Daisy-Bo at Kingcreek and we also had a wonderful experience. I think the reason this thread keeps coming up is that when you type Kingcreek Kennels into the search engine this item comes up right under their website. My girls love to look at the website's pictures because we had such a great time on our two visits there. This is actually how we found out about YorkieTalk. I was surprised that people who have never been to Kingcreek or purchased a puppy there could be so nasty about this wonderful place. I have never seen dogs treated so well. The house is full of happy, healthy dogs and is clean and smell-free. We brought our girls with us on both visits and they still talk about it and ask when we can go back for a visit. I would highly recommend getting a pup from Kingcreek. Our Daisy-Bo is the sweetest, cutest little Yorkie and we are very tempted to go back and get her a playmate!

Again, another new person's first post is in defense of a questionable breeder.

:thumbup::thumbup:

And with all the very good breeders there in that area....:rolleyes:

Does someone have information that has solid backing to show them as a bad breeder. The last thing you would want is to get slammed with slander of defamation from just making idle remarks.
Is there photographic or medical proof rather than conjecture heresay and name calling.
What is it about this particular breeder that's stirring so many reputable people on Yorkietalk?

If you are breeding, you should only breed to produce great specimens of the breed; whether pet or show.....

I think the operative word is questionable....However, if someone has done their homework on reputable breeders, the information on the website puts out several red flags......the main is "designer dogs".

The reason I answered this post is not because I personally know these breeders or it is some sort of conspiracy. My husband and I did a lot of research and visited several breeders before we chose Kingcreek. I felt I needed to post because I feel some of you are accusing us of buying from a disreputable breeder. I did all of my homework, went to visit, spoke to people who had dealings with them. Another thing I really liked was the fact that they no longer dock their puppies tails which I feel is a cruel and barbaric thing to do to an animal and hopefully it will be outlawed very soon. We have a beautiful puppy who we are so pleased with. She is very healthy and yes we had blood work done last week and everything looks great. She has been a wonderful addition to our family no matter where we got her from.

There appears to be two threads on Kingcreedk. On the other there are several posters that have posted their personal encounters with this Kennel. What they have posted speaks not so favorably, much the contrary.

Warnings on their website.
They breed Imperial and Teacup shih Tzu's. An imperial Shih Tzu is the same idea as a teacup yorkie.
Multiple breeds including 'designer dogs'.
Did you know that here in Canada if you are a member of the Canadian Kennel Club you CANNOT breed mixed breeds? If you are looking for a good yorkie breeder or any purebred, find out if they are a member in good standing with the CKC. And if they have paid their membership fees.
I pay my fees every year. I pay half the registration fees etc that a non member pays. As a paying member of the CKC, I am bound by their Code of Ethics and there are things I am not allowed to do.
Some things I must do is
1 provide a contract with each and every puppy or dog I sell.
2. Registration must be transferred to the new owner at my expense within six months after the date of sale.
3. I am not allowed to breed or sell mixed breeds.
4. All dogs or puppies are required to be either tattoo identified or microchipped.
It is not required but we do also have a Yorkshire Terrier breed club here in Canada, of which I am a member. We are not allowed to breed or sell crosses or unregistered.
Anyone caught going against the CKC rules that is a member, can be fined and their membership terminated.
WE are a bit different from the AKC that does not have these requirements.

Fantastic information thanks for sharing

You are welcome. I should have also mentioned the annual membership fee I pay is about $55 for the year, not much really and if I want to keep my membership I must abide by the code of Ethics which I would anyway.

Wow Lorraine....It is something the AKC should look into putting into their criteria.....However, not sure if that is a possibility since they now allow mixed breeds to compete in some areas(of course not with purebreeds).
